With over 1000 modifications over the stock Mazda Protege, perhaps the biggest upgrade is the Callaway engineered intercooled turbo system. With our plans for this car including autocross and rallycross, we plan only minor modifications to this car. We have already upgraded or added a number of componenets like racing wheels and street tires, as well as restraints and a restraint bar. We are working on a complete list of upgrade parts required and are currently looking for sponsors for this project vehicle. So far we have done the following:

• Replaced stock wheels and tires with black Drag wheels and Kumho tires.
• Replaced tail light fixtures with smoke colored fixtures.
• Blacked out and replaced some stock badges.
• Covered hood in black vinyl and added graphics
• Installed non-functional(for now) hood scoop
• Installed vortex generators
• Replaced stock spoiler with adjustable aluminum spoiler
• Installed restraint bar
